The Frenchman beat Newcastle legend Alan Shearer into second place, with the England man’s record 260 top flight goals only enough to pick up 34 per cent of the votes. That left Aguero picking up the pieces with 11 per cent, while nine per cent voted ‘other’ with the suggestions ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.

While some were clearly having fun with picks like Manchester United flop Bebe, Ali Dia and the just-on-the-scene Marcus Rashford, some of the more plausible shouts came in the form of Eric Cantona, Robbie Fowler and Luis Suarez.

For now though the crown remains firmly on Henry’s head until someone can prise it from the Gunner legend – Aguero or otherwise.
